I'd rather say everyone else focussed too much on the "in German" part. That really was the least of the problem with the process. wrt to my "tone" - that is rather a stylistic thing - I am trying to write with a bit of humour - tongue in cheek. I do literally know what a notary is, yet at the same time the notary process is quite alien if you are from the UK (I am aware they exist there too but they are rare). Indeed the historical reason for some of these things is quite interesting. Someone else shared some detailed article about it with me a while ago. I would acknowledge that there are "benefits" to this laborious process - such as less shell companies or fraud.
